Sweetbitter Song
THE GREATEST LOVE STORY NEVER TOLD.
One fateful night in Sparta, a young slave girl encounters a mysterious, grey-eyed princess.
Melantho and Penelope, though from different worlds, are instantly connected. But betrayal soon tears them apart.
Years later, on Ithaca's rocky shores, Melantho is sent to serve Princess Penelope and her new husband, Prince Odysseus. Hardened by slavery, Melantho vows to stay distant from Penelope.
Yet, the undeniable pull between them proves stronger than ever.
As war ignites Greece, Odysseus and Ithaca's men are called away and, in their absence, Melantho finds a new world opening up before her one where women rule, where family can be found, and where love is finally given the space to bloom.
But all wars eventually end and as Troy falls, Penelope and Melantho must face the King s return and decide how far they will go to protect what matters most to them.
Chain of Ideas
Throughout the world, authoritarian movements are radically reshaping our politics and our lives. At the heart of them all lies 'great replacement theory', which insists that peoples of colour, migrants and minorities are being deliberately empowered to displace white majorities.
In Chain of Ideas, Ibram X. Kendi shows how this conspiracy theory has mutated from the extremist fringe into a global ideology, embraced by leaders as varied as Marine Le Pen, Viktor Orbán, Narendra Modi, Jair Bolsonaro, Nigel Farage, Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump. He traces its historic roots in slavery, segregation, colonialism and Nazism, and shows how these age-old prejudices have been dressed in new language for a digital age.
But this is not a book about extremists on the margins. From Anders Breivik's massacre to the chants of the Charlottesville marchers, from Brexit slogans to the Christchurch shooting, Kendi shows how these ideas have crossed borders, inspired terror and are now re-shaping parties of government. Chain of Ideas is a penetrating history of how reactionary ideas have been repackaged as common sense, and how they shape the globe today.
Flesh
Fifteen-year-old István lives with his mother in a quiet apartment complex in Hungary. New to the town and shy, he becomes isolated, with his neighbour – a married woman – as his only companion. When a clandestine relationship begins between them, his life spirals out of control.
As the years pass, István moves from the army to the circles of London’s elite. His competing impulses for love, intimacy, status and wealth win him unimaginable riches, until they threaten to undo him completely.
Inspirace k řešení konfliktních situací dětí a dospívajících
Svět se mění, dětská psychika a její potřeby však v základu zůstávají stejné. Přesto dnešní doba klade na rodiče, učitele a vychovatele nároky, se kterými se dřívější generace potýkat nemusely. Proč nastupuje puberta u dívek dříve než dříve? Jak sociální sítě deformují hledání vlastní identity? A kde se bere narůstající agresivita či sebedestruktivní chování u stále mladších dětí? Tato kniha nehledá viníky v genetice ani v moderních technologiích. Místo toho nabízí pohled na lidský mozek jako na fascinující, plastický orgán, který se neustále adaptuje na prostředí, v němž žije. Co v knize najdete? • Inspiraci pro praxi: Jak reagovat na běžné i specifické potíže ve vývoji dětí. • Řešení skrze příběhy: Jádro textu tvoří konkrétní, vyřešené kazuistiky z praxe, které vám ukážou, jak postupovat v reálných situacích. • Podporu vlastní kreativity: Kniha nenabízí univerzální šablony, ale povzbuzuje vás k hledání vlastních cest. Protože jen ten nápad, který přijmete za svůj, dokážete v praxi skutečně zrealizovat. Tato publikace je určena všem, kteří se odmítají vzdát před negativními trendy současnosti a věří, že správným přístupem lze mnohé ovlivnit, zmírnit či odklonit. Staňte se pro děti průvodcem ve světě, který je pro ně (i pro nás) čím dál složitější.
Od Roznera k Medešimu: Skica prozaického desaťročia
Kniha renomovaného slovenského literárneho vedca a kritika je súborom interpretácií ôsmich slovenských próz vydaných v uplynulom desaťročí. Sedem kapitol – Spor s dejinami, Neisté Ja, Nesamozrejmá krajina, Poviedka, Identita, Rodina, Rod, Bilancia a Cudzinec predstavujú tvorbu Jána Roznera, Ivany Dobrakovovej, Richarda Pupalu, Vandy Rozenbergovej, Veroniky Šikulovej, Pavla Vilikovského a Ivana Medešiho. Interpretácia je vedená predpokladom, že do výstavby i recepcie diel sa do istej miery premieta dobový horizont literárnosti, predstavy o podobe prózy, relevantné v čase vzniku a vydania kníh. Východiskom je hypotéza o hraničnej povahe desaťročia, predpoklad, že vo vzťahu k reflexii literárnej tvorby je krátke i dlhé zároveň.
A boldogság-akták
Képzeld el, hogy az életed egy startup. Hogyan irányítanád, hogyan tennéd a lehető legsikeresebbé?
Brooks a Harvard üzleti képzésén ,,Vezetés és boldogság" címmel tart órát. Ezek az ,,akták" a boldogság egy-egy megközelítését ragadják meg: hogyan fogadjuk el a kudarcot és hogyan a sikert? Mi a különbség a jó- és a rossz fajta időpazarlás között? Miért fontos, hogy a munkánkat elkülönítsük életünk többi területétől? Hogyan függ össze a halogatás az érzelmi állapotunkkal? Hogyan mondjunk nemet, és mit tegyünk a kiégés ellen?
E könyv nagy utat jár be az ókori filozófiától az irodalomig, a popkultúrától a mai cégek belső folyamataiig. A viselkedéstudomány köréből leszűrt megfigyelésekre alapozva mondja el, hogyan működik a boldogság. Konkrét tapasztalatokra épít, praktikus tanácsokat ad.
Ha csakis arra koncentrálsz, mondja Brooks, ami valóban számít, máris jobb esélyed van rá, hogy eléred.

Catuvellaunia and Rome: Economic and Political Relations during the Final Decades Pre-conquest
This study brings together the numismatic, textual, and archaeological evidence required to discuss potential economic collaboration between the powerful Roman client-kingdom of Catuvellaunia in southeastern Britain and the growing Roman military presence in northern Gaul during the decades before the Claudian conquest of Britain in AD 43 and the inevitable full annexation of Catuvellaunia by Rome as Britannia, a strategic asset. The main theme of the study centres on the grain-wealth of intensively cultivated productive chalk-land in southern Britain and the potential for its ready export to fulfil the growing needs of the military in northern Gaul, a damaged war-zone already limited in its agricultural productivity, during the decades BC-AD. Context for the study is provided by a series of related case-studies:- discussion of climatic conditions, agrarian systems, and models of grain production-consumption set the basic agri-economic parameters;- the logistics and problems of managing land-based, riverine, and maritime supply-lines servicing the northwestern frontier are discussed, with added context on contemporary settlement and shipping;- the position of Camulodunon in the context of other oppida, of Greater Catuvellaunia within the tribal structures in southern Britain, and of its role as an agent of cross-Channel trade, located nearest to Gaul, reflect its wider controlling regional power;- evidence from Celtic coinage, stylistic and inscriptional, provide a major source for essential discussion of tribal structures and lineages;- questions of military supply are outlined in detailed case-studies of two developing near-contemporary frontier-zones: the Tayside Militarised Zone [Scotland], and the Rhine frontier;- political aspects of clientship and annexation by Rome across the wider Empire provide interesting parallels.

Bayesian Social Science Statistics: Volume 2
This Element introduces the basics of Bayesian regression modeling using modern computational tools. This Element only assumes that the reader has taken a basic statistics course and has seen Bayesian inference at the introductory level of Gill and Bao (2024). Some matrix algebra knowledge is assumed but the authors walk carefully through the necessary structures at the start of this Element. At the end of the process readers will fully understand how Bayesian regression models are developed and estimated, including linear and nonlinear versions. The sections cover theoretical principles and real-world applications in order to provide motivation and intuition. Because Bayesian methods are intricately tied to software, code in R and Python is provided throughout.

The Making of the Middle Ages
Trace the tumultuous history of Europe during the Early Middle Ages through 90 specially commissioned maps and a authoritative narrative.
Medieval Europe remains a mystery to many, yet the relative dearth of information about the period cannot mask its crucial importance in history. Often mischaracterized as a time of darkness and decline, the period from AD 476 to 1000 was marked by turmoil, rebirth and transformation.
From the towering legacy of Constantine to the iron rule of Charlemagne, and the Huns, Goths and Saxons to the Slavs, Franks, Vikings, Rus, Bulgars and Magyars, John Haywood brings to life the dynamic story of how a new Europe emerged from the ashes of the crumbling Roman Empire. We witness the spread of Christianity, the emergence of Islam, the rise and fall of kingdoms, and the birth of the leading nations of modern Europe. This is not a tale of decline, but a saga of endurance, reinvention and remarkable strength.
